[sebhc] h17 and h8d disk images

[Barry Watzman]

I think that the RAM base was much higher even than 2000H, but yes, such a
version of CP/M did exist.  Getting a copy will be very, very hard, because
it fell into extreme disfavor after the version came out that supported a
"normal" CP/M memory configuration.

[In case anyone is wondering, I have almost no H8/H89 software at all, I
don't even have a copy of the software that I myself wrote.]

So is there a version of CP/M which will boot on a system with the H17
controller, the standard H5 I/O card, and RAM from $2000 to top of memory
(IE: the configuration of my emulator) - if so, where can I get an image
of it, because I would love to try it out.
